“Learning one of the world’s most ancient languages is about to take a leap from 2005 BC to 2005 AD with the launch of a new Web site, Glyphdoctors, that will offer online courses in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and Egyptology to the general public fascinated with ancient Egypt. Founded by Nicole Hansen, a Ph.D. candidate in Egyptology at the University in Chicago, Glyphdoctors will bring the study of ancient Egypt, until now only available at a handful of elite universities, to a worldwide audience.
This technological breakthrough was made possible through the open source course management system Moodle. Hansen chose Moodle because it allowed her to create a dynamic and professional Web site at zero cost and is backed by an active and helpful development community.”
